• Story Estimation: Size stories with story points
• Dependency Identification: Map story dependencies
• Sprint Planning: Group stories into sprints

Rules

- WRITE user stories in "As a... I want... So that..." format - DEFINE clear, testable acceptance criteria - KEEP stories small enough for one sprint - IDENTIFY dependencies between stories - ESTIMATE using relative sizing (story points) - PRIORITIZE by business value and dependencies
